Operation_Overhaul_-_Metal_Necklace_Pattern.jpg 1.3 MB [ Download ]
I was exceptionally excited for this one, because it involved materials I’ve always wanted to experiment with but never had the chance to. I saw a similar necklace in Topshop and loved it so I thought it might just make a manageable and fab DIY project!

Using the downloadable pattern, create a template and trace out all 18 parts of the necklace onto the metal sheet. Make sure to use a semi-permanent marker that you can erase after!

3
When you’re done, use a pair of pruning shears to cut out the pieces! (Thinner metal sheet might “curl” so do experiment and find the best way to cut yours!)
-
4
File down the edges and sides as they might be sharp and uneven. Be careful!
-
5
Arrange the pieces according to the Necklace Pattern. As you can see, my printout was a draft version!

Using the same marker, mark out the spots where the holes are needed. Then, use a craft drill to create a holes close to the edge. Alternatively, hammer a nail through the metal sheet to create a hole.

The edges of the holes might be sharp so it might be a good idea to file down again at this point.

Referring to the diagram once again, reposition all the pieces again and attach the jump rings as pictured.
